Remember to cook the brown rice ahead of time. Heat your wok until it's very hot. A bead of water should vaporize within 1 to 2 seconds. Swirl in 2 teaspoons oil, coating the bottom of the wok completely. Add 2 beaten eggs, and tilt your wok so the eggs spread and make a pancake. When it's just set, flip it and let it set just 5 seconds more, then put it on the cutting board and cut it up into bite-size pieces. Back in the wok, swirl 1 tablespoon of oil and cook 1/2 cup thinly sliced shallots and 2 tablespoons minced garlic just a few seconds until they're fragrant. Now reduce the heat to medium-high and stir-fry 4 sliced Brussels sprouts and 1 cup diced parsnips until they're nearly cooked through. Add 1 more tablespoon of oil and then 4 cups cold cooked brown rice, 12 halved cherry tomatoes and 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce. Stir-fry, breaking up the rice, until it's heated through. Then sprinkle in 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper. Add the egg pieces and toss to combine.
